Did anyone else see the Andromeda gameplay? It looked pretty good to me, other than the facial animations.
 
Am looking forward to ME Andromeda. Black Friday weekend saw the purchase of the Mass Effect Trilogy so I can replay my old games, and the purchase of ARMA 3.
 
Steam winter sale is up. It has some pretty good deals. Got a copy of Psychonauts and a couple of the old-school final fantasy games dirt cheap.:D
 
Got to play with a PS4 Pro and PS VR for a while the other day. This is the next big thing, I shit you not. It's not a gimmick or an attempt at something VR-like (I'm looking at you Virtual Boy). This is going to get really good. I'm guessing all the various VR systems that are launching will have their strengths and weaknesses but it is safe to say the age of home VR systems has arrived. Definitely wasting money on one. I was sold on it in minutes.
 
Got Madden 17 for XBox One, today. Cripes, looks like I am watching a real football game!

Does sound weird with announcers who I do not recognize though, did some Googling and found out it was by design.

Madden NFL 17's new announcers want to call it like you see it

I got it for Christmas. I like it. Playing on All-Pro certain teams can give you a run for your money. The defenses aren't so dumb, and all the "money plays" are gone.

Have you tried the "Favre Challenges" yet? The 5-touchdowns in 5 minutes kicked my ass for a LONG time. I was okay with trying to score an average of once per minute, but having to play defense in the same 5 minutes, and the CPU defense always running the fucking ball took off too much time.

Finally broke down and watched a few YouTube vids to see what other guys were doing.
 
I picked up Steep during the Steam sale. I don't know if it is worth the current sale price of $40 because it can be a bit repetitive, but it has the best wing-suiting around (minus Far Cry 3) plus some really solid snowboarding, skiing, and a new one: parasailing. Buy an Xbox 360 controller for it and enjoy. Wing-suiting without the controller is clunky, but smooth with a controller.

Solid game, good graphics, but buy it on sale unless you don't mind some repetitive actions, even when you're freeriding.

I haven't. I am playing Franchise mode now. We will see if SD moves or not in the game. Should be interesting.
 
Season 9 of Diablo 3 started today. Once I discovered the seasons, I barely play the vanilla game. Also, Patch 2.4.3 or whatever just dropped and it has some nice changes, one of which is the ability to upgrade your stash.
